Eddy Haphazard contemplated the win as he layed down on his hotel bed, while watching some TV. After going down a goal before even the tenth minute, the guys in blue struggled to keep the ball. There was little they could do to stop the opposing team until the end of the half when Eddy had reminded the players of the games they had played as perpetration for real practice. Still, after they ran through their lessons, they did not have a chance to score until the sixtieth minute and even then did not score until the seventy-second from a Dune free kick. Things seemed to go well after that with the Gators having the majority of possession and several more chances on goal. Yakup Lobo came on for Hilton in the eighty-first minute and thirty seconds afterward, he scored his first international goal with a brilliant one-two from Kamaka.

As he thought about the great win and the next match, Eddy's thoughts turned to the Three Leones' keeper, Peter Chek. He had just been sold to a team in Abanhfleft, while their keeper came to play for the Leones. Though he had not met him yet, Diego and Didier told him that Aleksei was impressive and a cool guy. They also told him that Peter had already left. He had sent his friends texts saying goodbye, but did not actually see anyone in person. Eddy thought about this for a good while with several sighs of sadness and remorse. It became borderline depression before his phone buzzed. He read it quickly, looking for something to get his mind off of things. It was from Hal: See me in ten. Game plan has changed for match against Gregoryisgodistan... Eddy became annoyed when he realized it was sent to the entire team without Hal consulting him. Nevermind, he thought, He'll be the one to catch the flak is we lose.

Back at the hotel the team sat around dejectedly staring at their feet; no one really saying very much. One of the problems with this Schottic side was the fact that this new look squad had no leader on the pitch. There was no one who could really rally the players, who could put a foot on the ball and play a composed pass when everything was going sour. Last year there was Eoin Killanen, Thio Crillin, Larry Watt; all of whom were strong captain figures. Paul Doig had the armband this season, but he wasn't in the same league as these those guys and couldn't inspire people the same way. Now in the wake of their manager Jock Sonny's post match critique of their performance against The Sword Bloke, the players were having trouble picking themselves back up.

'He kind of blew the door off the hinges.' Said Saskia Holden, sitting in an arm fiddling with the cap on a bottle of water. Her dark hair sat in almost black ringlets around her shoulders, still wet from her shower. 'I mean he was annoyed. huh?'

'Well are you surprised Sas?' Asked Gareth Souter, a short haired, clean-cut centre-back who played in the Cenian league. He was wearing tracksuit trousers and a white t-shirt as he paced the hotel lobby. 'It was a miserable performance. We should be celebrating right now, but instead qualification is hanging by a thread...'

'C'mon Gareth!' Said Chloe Rudden throwing her hands in the air. 'We drew one game, we don't need to get, like, all down in the mouth.' She was already back in her civilian clothes, a dark blue dress with white flowers, a black cardigan and grey tights.

Chloe was ever the optimist, and refused (almost out of principle) to let things bother her. She was perched precariously on back of her friend Saskia's chair, with her knees pulled up under her chin. It had been her pinpoint pass, which had set up the opening goal for her side. Going past George Blankey like he wasn't even there, she had driven the ball across the six-yard-box for Glen Stephens to blast the side into the lead, sliding his shot under Josh Harley.

'That's alright for you to say Chloe; you had a really good game.' Gareth snapped back at her, stand square shoulders facing her. 'No one back home will be blaming you!' Gareth was one of those young people for whom, his own personal reputation mattered a great deal.

'I don't give two... whatevers!' Chloe jumped down of the back of the couch, sweeping her art-college fringe out of her eyes. 'It's just a game, we all played our best, that's all that, like, matters no?'

This comment succeeded getting a few of the other players' attentions. Chloe's comments were bordering on blasphemy. The suggestion that winning might not mean the world to every player was unthinkable. From Chloe this was particularly worrying, given that her partner was none other than Gary Corsie, a Schottic player who had been often criticised for his lack of commitment.

'Says Mrs Corsie of course.' Laughed Glen Stephens. He like Gareth a product of the Handon United youth system. The United kids always stuck together. 'You and that man of yours both have a few screws loose.' There was a ripple of laughter from some of the other, especially the boys. The squad had become slightly tribalised, with the Women's Super-League players in one group, and the Handon United graduates in another.

'Don't you dare call me than you sexist pig!' Snapped Chloe marching up to the boys, brows furrowed. 'I'm my own person. I don't define you by your relationships, so don't do it to me.'

There was so much that Chloe wanted to add, but she wasn't a fighter. This is what she hated about being in the national team set-up -- all the huge egos. More people were standing up now, starting to take side, either standing with the boys or with Chloe. Saskia, who now played for Bayer Phoenix in the Taeshani league put a supportive hand on her friend's shoulder.

'Chlo, c'mon, he's not worth it.' She tried to cuddle Chloe and pull her away at the same time. This seemed to work, and gradually things began to calm down. The red mist which had temporarily descended over the team slowly started to lift.

'Okay, okay.' Said Paul, walking between Chloe and Glen, playing the captain's role at last. 'Lets simmer down. This isn't going to help anyone eh?' However it was said in a way that was as if he was reading lines off of a sheet, and there was no real authority behind it.

'Yeah.' Said Jeremy McNott, the Cornellians keeper with a mischievous grin on his face. 'We don't want to upset the crazy bitch and make her any worse.'

'Oh my god you didn't just say that you $&+#!' In a characteristic explosion of emotion, Lucy Curren entered the fray. The attractive red-haired girl, who like Chloe played in Nephara, went toe to toe with the gangly young keeper who was ten centimetres taller than her. 'Chloe was the best player on the pitch again today. If it wasn't for you letting Kondrii's shot slip through your fingers then we would have won!'

This was the catalyst a nuclear war of words. The older players blaming the new players, and the new players blaming the older ones. Accusations were flying everywhere, tempers were on the verge of cracking, and tears began to fall.

'ENOUGH!' boomed a bellowing voice from behind them. Jock Sonny and his assistant Alexander Pearce had just entered the hotel, and was enough to bring everyone to a standstill. 'All of you, get to your rooms now! This is absolutely pathetic.' His face was like gathering storm clouds. 'I want you all in the conference room in one hour, and I expect all this to have been put to rest. Now go!'

On the last match...


"Fuck..." said Vitaly, as he walked backwords just to see a Tumbran U-21 player locking the victory of Tumbra in the first half. It was 0-2, all the players weren't satisfied in the Nizovski side. They could at least try and take the draw to gather up some points off this tournament, when they returned on to kick off he continued "...we play like shit out there. We must play better if we want to be considered a damn threat." as he went to take the ball after he was passed by Huerev. Then he passed it to Martinko. Whom on his turn did the last chance of the first half. Ending in the Tumbran keeper's hands.

--------------------In the locker rooms--------------------

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT YOU IDIOTS?" asked Varfolomey, the coach of the team. All the members were looking down, Vitaly was the only oen having a heads up, he was sad too but at least he could work. He was thinking a lot in that match, something not so helpful. He responded after a bit of thought. "That was all we could do. It migh tbe exhaustion talking on the field tonight. We have already lost that match in simple words. You need to tell us what to do to avoid utter humiliation." Varfolomey answered vigorously "Try keeping the ball, don't let them do a lot of chances, use the right side a lot of times and when the finally think of us going to the right, use the left side and do as many chances as you can, or none." All the players answered alltogether "Yes, sir." and continued to rest for another 5 minutes before returning to the field.


--------------------In the field--------------------

Nizovski players have got the ball on their possession for a very longer time than the last half. The manager's words have paid off, Tumbrans are not able to take the ball as many times as they did in the last half. Vladimir Muranav gets off the field, his position is taken by Lopasav, it was the 64th minute. Nizovskians had no choice than trying to strike. As soon as he got in the field, Lopasav tried to lead the team passing with some effect, to a point. While Vitaly was thinking "Why the hell is Lopasav playing there, he was supposed to be my substitute. Anyway. The ball is coming, I must do something." he got the ball and crossed it in. Borosov headered it to the goalkeeper's hands.

Nothing much was happening in the second half. Just Tumbran and Nizovski players trying to get the ball away from the midfield with no success at all. 1 chance and that was all. Martinko left on 78 after an extremely bad performance by him. One chance that ended in free kick on the first half. Pokov taken his position and as he entered he made the first chance of the game in minutes, on the 82nd minute but then awoken the wolf inside the Tumbran players and one the 88th minute, Scarton's second goal in the match locked the Tumbran win 0-3 being the score. On the 92nd minuted a Nizovski chance made by Borosov at around 32 meters off the box ended in a fantastic consolation goal.




On this match...


"Dayum, this will be harder." said Denis Borosov looking at the scoreboard and despite the winless campaign of Quebec he soon realised they would fight for it but so would the Nizovski players. Varfolomey watched the kind of worried played and told him "We will bring the first 3 points of Nizov in this competition, you should not worry, you should become a beast for this match." Denis responded to him still worried "But it's said they will fight for it, heck a lot." Afanasy still not worried said "Meh, they are way out of form. We should take those points." then Artyom Kolosiov showed up and said "Denis, you seriously forget the fact that they don't produce as good academies as senior national teams. We got those 3 points in our pockets already. Denis replied less worried and more calmed down "If you both say so, I'll just stop getting worried."

When they entered the field, Borosov was pretty more excited than worried. The match began and the Nizovski players had a lot of the control of the ball. Excellent passing game in the field and a lot of chances. Denis Borosov made the greatest chance of the first half, he dribbled down the whole right side of the defence and then made a fantastic shot from a very hard angle only to end in the post. That increased the moral of all the players who kept going with an excellent response to that chance by Martinko ending in a corner after being keeped by the Quebecois keeper. The Quebecois defence seemed to be a really weak side, unlike the keeper making many chances of the Nizovski players seeming impossible to get done in the right way of scoring. The half ended in 0-0 but with a hungry for goals Nizov.

--------------------Second Half--------------------

Nizov started pretty well there too. Martinko did a very close chance sending the ball to the keeper's hands. Chevenko showed up by giving an assist to Borosov scoring the first goal of the match, a simple pass in the large box to create a fantastic goal to the applause of the few Nizovski fans. 0-1 by the 57th minute but the half remained silent for a lot of minutes, 2 chances from both sides were made to recreate stability in the field and despite may dangerous chances made by the Quebecois, Martinko's header after a cross made by Afanasy Huerev was a complete pay off for the coach who kept his position as a coach of the U-21 team. 0-2 by 75 and many chances following the goal. Borosov could make it 0-3 but and offside trap made by the Quebecois was enoguh to prevent him from doing so. Borosov wass thinking "Wow, that was quite of a match."

When they reached the locker rooms Varfolomey had no choice rather than telling them happily "That was a fantastic game out there. I wish you did that all the time and everybody could be afraid of our team and portray us as a potential favourite to the U-21 global throne." the players seemed to have a smile on their faces and when they returned back on their hotels, they knew they could rest in safety despite being placed second to last of a very ambitious group.

Marrian McFadden reports


Schottia 4-1 95X
Wildgrounds, Everfree
Goals: 19" Rudden, 41" Hunt, 59" Souter, 83" McDonald (Schottia) - 76" 95X striker, (95X)
Possession: 59% - 41%
Shots: 14 - 3
On-target: 8 - 3




Laketown Rangers teenager Boris Hunt put in a man of the match performance at the Wildgrounds in Everfree, to put Schottia in a commanding position in Group D. There had been something of an air of gloom surrounding the White and Greens' Di Bradini Cup campaign, following a shock draw with The Sword Bloke. However the emphatic 4-1 win over 95X will inject some new hope into the fans and players, going into the final group game with Nephara.

There had been no problem with the team's ball retention against The Sword Bloke, only their ability to find the back of the net. With a view to this Jock Sonny opted for international experience, bringing in comeback-kid Till Ümann for Jenny McDonald, to instil a directness to the midfield. Ümann, who gained 17 senior caps as a teenager, hadn't started a match for his country since the qualifiers for World Cup 70. There would have been those in the stands who were looking for signs of rust, however, the FC Soessch kid came through the game with flying colours.

It didn't take long for Schottia to get on the score sheet against a 95X side we knew very little about. The outstanding Hunt was at the centre of a crisp passing move, which saw the 17-year-old release Caitlin L'Attue down the right side. The D'Itille winger then played an angled ball inside the last defender, picking out the run of Chloe Rudden. The North Laithland attacker, side footed her shot home, showing a deftness of composure to give her side the lead. The 18-year-old has been in fine form this tournament and the goal was her third in as many games.

After the first goal on 19 minutes, Schottia began to settle into the game. The midfield trio of Hunt, Ümann, and Jottar Kallsmudden's Kim Coultan, all began to stamp some authority on proceedings. Despite some spirited play from 95X, pushing the Schottic defence hard, it was to be the reigning champions who struck again.

Glen Stephens took a long ball from Kim Coultan on the chest, doing very well to hold the play up with no teammates in the vicinity. The first sign of help arriving was the onrushing Hunt, surging forward from deep. The Handon United striker laid the ball off, for the giant midfielder to unleash a powerful, low strike from 20-yards-out. The strike deceived everyone, pinging in off the left hand post to double the Skots' lead just before the break.

After the half time oranges, Schottia came out all guns blazing, seemingly intent on finishing the job quickly. They would have been aware that a win here, with other results going their way, would have all but secured qualification. With that in mind they found the back of the net quickly with a goal which, (baring in mind the Dainer - Sword Bloke match was very tight), would see them through.

Again the move started in the midfield, Hunt and Ümann who had both been at the heart of every move, yet again found a way through the 95X defence. After finding Rudden once more, the winger managed to skip the challenge of the right-back, before aiming a shot high into the far corner. It was difficult to tell if the ball was destined for the back of the net, however, the opposition keeper took no chances, palming it over the crossbar for a corner. The resulting kick was taken by Coultan, who swung her cross in for Gareth Souter to tuck-away at the front post. It was a first goal at international level for the Sporting Cenial centre-back, and it would have been a moment he would savour.

After the third goal went in Jock Sonny made a double change, no doubt in a bid to rest some players for the tougher test of Nephara. Till Ümann, who will have been delighted to have come through another 60 minutes unhurt made way for Jenny McDonald, and Glen Stephens was replaced by the highly rated Akiko, as Schottia went slightly more defensive.

Despite the changes, Schottia were powerless to prevent the 95X goal, which seemed to catch the team unawares. It would have been unfair to say that there were no chances whatsoever for the opposition side, and it was on one of these forays forward, that they got a goal back. Bella Thompson was possibly guilty of being out of position, but the Nomad Botherhood star, could hardly be blamed for the goal. Whipped in from the left, the 95X striker was on hand to dispatch the ball past Jeremy McNott, with the Cornellians keeper pretty much helpless.

Schottia kept their composure however, and moving the ball around well, they took their chance when it finally arrived, to complete a great day for the young players.

A nice flowing move saw Thompson bring the ball forward, using her pace to hold of the 95X challenges. Her through ball down the wing was picked up by L'Attue who flicked the ball back into the feet of Akiko. The Kelsey Merchants player then played a short pass to Hunt, who in turn released the run of McDonald. The Willox Street Pirtaes golden-girl will have been delighted, as she took her chance to become the third player today to score their first goal for the U-21s.

The result was much needed, as there will have been some suspicion the side could falter following the draw with The Sword Bloke. The pressure on the players to emulate the success of the class of DBC 33, will have been playing on a few minds in the first three match. At least qualification from the group will ensure that the players go home with their heads held high, regardless of whether they can go any further. The next match will be by far the stiffest test this tournament, as they take on a very solid looking Nephara side in the battle for first and second qualification spots. Jock Sonny will be hoping that Chloe Rudden, who plays in the same league as most of the opposition, can use her inside knowledge to good effect.




Line-up: McNott 7, Thompson 7, Doig 6, Ross 7, Souter 8, L'Attue 8, Rudden 8, Ümann 8 (60 - McDonald 7), Coultan 7 (78 - Dawson 7), Hunt 9, Stephens 7 (60 - Akiko 7)

Man of the match: Hunt. In a match when the young man really came of age, he was the best player on the park for his side. Surely he is a player with a big future in the game.

WALKANY YOUNGSTER PETER CHEK SIGNS FOR LUDOGORETS MARKOVSKY

MARKOVSKY, MEZALADBYI, ABANHFLEFT - Walkany and Three Leones goalkeeper Peter Chek has officially agreed to join Ludogorets Markovsky of the Fleftic Premier League for a reported fee of NS$4 million.

The Walkany goalkeeper, who has represented his country in both the last World Cup and is currently playing for the Walkany U-21s in the Di Bradini Cup, has joined the Foresters on a four-year contract.

Chek, who was the starting keeper of Walkany club Three Leones, has made almost an entire season's worth of appearances for the club.

Ludogorets owner and manager Yulian Markovsky, who personally announced the transfer on national television, has said that he saw massive potential in Chek which he wanted to develop in a highly competitive league like Abanhfleft's Premier League. "I saw his performances for Walkany in the World Cup when they first came into the international sporting scene," Markovsky said. "Sure, as the team stands right now, he's going to end up on the bench, but we have settled on terms. He will appear in selected games as our starting keeper, and he will certainly benefit being under the wing of [Wally] Mozgov."

As part of the deal to let Chek go to Ludogorets, it appears that Aleksei Pasternak had been added to the deal and his now on his way to Walkany and Three Leones. Pasternak had once been Ludogorets' starting keeper following their promotion to the Premier League in 2010, but after losing his place to Wally Mozgov last season it seems that the team had seen that a move to greener pastures would be beneficial to both parties.

Chek is expected to go through a medical check following the conclusion of the Di Bradini Cup.

In his hotel room, Eddy Haphazard laughed to himself as Lenny Queen made satirical jokes about the Gator's win over Gregoryisgodistan. The team had done well and surprisingly so considering Lukeson's new set of tactics. He had the team keep a high press until the sixtieth minute when Rade Soloman scored a tap in off of a ricochet from Hilton's shot. They played the counter attack then which caught the opposing team several times on their heels. Hilton scored Walkany's second goal ten minutes after the first, securing a good lead. Then, Dune struck in the third game in a row with another fantastic free kick in the eighty-fifth minute, which assured the win. During injury time, Gregoryisgodistan had a fast break away, forcing everyone to drop back from their own break away. Despite good coverage, the other team still scored a great goal off of a one-two pass.

Now, the final match day approached. Lymantia has done a good job, but Eddy knew it should be a win. Lenny Queen made another joke and the guys from the room next to him gave a big laugh. If the boys could win this game, they should advance. Then again, you never know when the players re this young and inexperienced. Lenny gave a joke about their next game, something about having a negative score, with the howls continued in the other room. We can do this, Eddy knew, We can win it all.

UNBEATEN YOUNGSTERS FACING EARLY EXIT

The Kernansquillecan Under 21s continued their Di Bradini Cup campaign by facing the mighty Holy Republican Empire. With three wins from three while averaging three goals a game it meant that the misfiring Kers were well and truly underdogs. The Kernansquillecans have yet to really get their tournament under way. A bore draw against unfancied Polkopia and a marginal win over San José Guayabal have been their only two games so far and both were very far away from the exciting attacking football Green and White fans have started to expect from their national team.

Against the Holy Republican Empire it was once again an uninspiring performance with chances coming at a premium. To be fair to the Under 21s their backline and defensive midfield were at the top of their game, smothering once of the most efficient attacks in the group. However, going forward, their was a significant lack of imagination and quality. You do get the feeling that this team does have quality within it and that if the front line can click they would be a force to reckon with. As it stands the Kers held on for a one all draw, which is a decent result against the group leaders who have now sealed their place in the knockout round. But the Kers' goal only came curtsey of a Agata De Luca penalty kick which she converted after being tripped in the penalty box. The Louargat winger has been playing slightly out of position this tournament, but she has proven to be one of the most impressive attacking players in this Kernansquillecan side. Unfortunately for her, the support often hasn't been up to the task.

The draw means that the Kers fall back one place into third with a game left. And what a crunch game it is set to be. The Unified Sunrise Islands have just a point lead over the Green and Whites meaning that a Kernansquillecan win will seal their place in the knockout round, while Sunrise Islands know that they just have to avoid defeat to hold on to their spot. Their 3-0 win over San José Guayabal was impressive and with a total of ten goals scored in three games they have talent going forward. But they are not unbeatable. Indeed they lost their opening game against group leaders, the Holy Republican Empire, in an epic seven goal thriller. Kernansquillec will get one - possible last - chance to finally get into the zone and win their qualification. But the odds do not seem to be stacked in their favour. With the table as it is, Kernansquillec could exit the tournament without having lost a single game. It just goes to show how the team have been unable to break down their opponents while still putting in solid, yet boring, performances.

After the Holy Republican Empire clinched first place in Group B with a 1-1 draw against Kernansquillac, goalscorer Andreas Fadius returned to his hotel room, where he was joined by his father Petrus. While the elder Fadius was not coaching the U-21 team this year, father and son had much to discuss here. While the DBC had been delayed, Andreas had spent his time traveling around the Equestrian States, filming and photographing everything that he could. Fortunately, he had plenty of help from his girlfriend Leva, who hardly ever left his side.

Andreas and Leva had met by chance several years earlier in the Greater Vakolicci Haven. He was an exchange student who grew to detest the immoral and wicked culture that he found himself in. She was a refugee from Slave State who had been captured by Vakolicci slavers after her parents were brutally murdered in front of her eyes by the anti-intellectual communist regime that had seized power in her homeland. They had met after Andreas fell in love with her at first sight and purchased her at a slave market. Surprisingly, she fell for him as well and quickly embraced her new master's faith. During their time there, the young couple clashed with almost everybody they ran into, in a land that was intolerant of their faith and contemptuous of their values.

Finally, they hatched a plot with Veleik Nicholls to leave the Greater Vakolicci Haven in the middle of the night, with as much Vakolicci property as they could take with them and give the Republican military access to the Vakolicci royal treasury to purchase weapons. Veleik had become upset after one of the Vakolicci insulted him and his homeland's military. Mr. Nicholls cooperated in this plot, sending a NichollsAir plane to the Greater Vakolicci Haven just to pick them up. Sneaking out in the middle of the night, their plot came together perfectly. Veleik handed the credit card to the Republican military and suddenly the military had the funding to make itself a force to be reckoned with in Republican politics.

Andreas was well aware that Veleik was now the leader of a terrorist organization committed to the overthrow of Consul Kulseth and was certain that he now regretted his youthful indiscretion, but Andreas know when he reflected back on those events that they had all been part of the Will of God. He had helped set into course the chain of events that led to the end of the Federation and the rise of the Empire. Now, his mission was to provide the intelligence needed for top secret military operations, operations which were intended to bring about the destruction of the Equestrian States.

The primary objective given to the son of the Holy Republican manager was to identify the locations of the major Harmonist shrines in the Equestrian States, the nature of their security and the layout of the places. Andreas did not understand why Consul Kulseth desired this information, but he would do whatever the Leader of the Holy World asked of him without question. To question an order from a legitimate authority figure was simply unthinkable to Andreas. Leva, however, couldn't stop asking questions. "Why do their pagan shrines matter?" "Shouldn't we be spending more time documenting their military capacity?" "Maybe we should go to the patent office instead?" The questions just never stopped with her, unless Andreas asked her to stop. But he admitted that these were all good questions.

Then, they hit the jackpot. Andreas met a man who just so happened to work as a guard at the Alcloptraz Maximum Security Prison. He was a Harmonist Christian who was having marital difficulties with his wife and suspected that she might be cheating on him. He was also upset that he had been passed over for a promotion that went to a female unicorn instead. Andreas was able to get through to the man and convince him that he should convert, in secret, to the True Church. Andreas persuaded him that the problems in his personal life were caused by the society that he lived in, a society that was rebelling against the natural order of things. As it said in the Bible, the natural order of things is for Man to have dominion over women, animals and nature itself. Treating animals as if they were the equals of humans and treating women as if they were men were both assaults on the law of nature that lead to disaster in one's personal life. Over the following weeks, Andreas and Leva would keep in touch with the man, continuing to help him through the process of conversion to the True Church.

Now, Andreas told his father all of these things. The elder Fadius thanked his son and his future daughter-in-law for all that they had done and asked to get in touch with the prison guard. Andreas agreed to check with the guard to see whether he might want to get in touch with some very important men of God who had a very important mission for him. Later on that night, he would send a text message to the guard explaining everything. As he went to sleep, Andreas prayed that the prison guard would do his part in carrying out the Will of God...

“Because Three Isn’t Enough?”
by H.G

According to the Act of Language, which was passed earlier, students across Star United States must step up to meet the standards of the government. The government of the country now requires students to take be fluent in at least two of the three official languages and in at least one foreign language. This act will be effective beginning the next school year.

President Luciano Avana stated the following after the bill was signed, “We believe that we currently live in a period of diversity, and we should not be left behind. We should and we will diversified our country through language to create outstanding citizens by destroying these barriers that stand between us and the citizens of other countries. This is for the better of every Starian in our country.”

Schools around the country are now searching for more employees as the Language Department of every school since their personal must increase to comply to this new act of the country. Some schools are happy as the government will give more money to the schools that teach more languages. This decision has divided the education community. Most students, of course, stand against this decision. However, the government will not step down.

Those in favor of students have announced that "it is not fair to push students to those limits." However, schools are finding different ways to regulate this so that it may not be overwhelming to the students.
